not doing baby shower games

So I'm thinking about not doing baby shower games. The only thing I'm doing is giving a gift card to the person who brings the most diapers. I might make goody bags but I'm not sure.Yes, I'm planning my own. I enjoy planning stuff like this :)

I recently went to a shower where on the announcement it said, people who also bring diapers will be entered into a raffle for a door prize. Everyone brought gifts and a pack of diapers and the prize was a $30 gift card to a restaurant.

I feel you, I'm so not a game player & hate doing them @ showers & pretty much anywhere. I'm gonna do a diaper raffle & a book raffle. That way I can get diapers & books to read to the baby & someone can get something they might actually want & will use like a giftcard. I end up throwing away goodie bags so I'm not gonna waste time or money on them even if it's not my time or money.

I love that idea!!! I am not a fan of baby shower games at all. A close friend of the family is going to throw me a sip and see. No games...after the baby is born. This is my second so I thought that was a good idea.

I'm not a big fan of baby shower games myself. We did one game at my shower for DD because it seemed really fun, and it was a BLAST. I did the Applesauce game. You take two people and cover them in a garbage bag (cut out head and arm holes obviously) and blindfold them, they then had to feed each other Applesauce with a baby spoon. I had a jack&jill shower so it was fun to watch the couples try and feed each other. Other than that the games really are sooo boring. I went to a shower that did 4 of the most boring games I've ever seen done in my life.

I did not want games at my shower either for my DD. We did give a goody bag at the end. It was in January so it was a lavender mug (color of baby room) with hot coco mix. On the hot coco mix it had the date of the shower my name & baby name. It did have a cute little poem too but, I can't remember.

Yah, baby shower games can be a drag, but thought out "games" or ones that aren't repulsive or corny can be fun! I've been to some showers that don't have games and didn't really know many people and then you awkardly sit there...but then I've been to like 4 hour baby showers bc they play games FOREVER and then the presents take a long time! Anyways...one idea that I loved and was also "optional" to guests was my friend had a scrapbooking table and laid out a bunch of papers, embelishments, quotes, titles, etc and we designed pages for the babys scrap book. We also took photos from the shower and wrote messages to the baby for the picture to go with. I thought it was a really good idea. For the same shower she also put in the invitation to skip out on a card and spend the 5 bucks on a baby book instead and write the note inside the book instead! I thought that was great! I plan to do the same!

The worst baby shower game ever was diapers that you pass around that had ground/mushed up candy bars and you had to guess the candy bar by its smell and texture. I mean come on, who thinks of these things, a 5 year old? Needless to say, there were no games at my baby or bridal showers bc everyone knew I would say no!

I think my shower is going to be an evening cocktail party, and co-ed so no games. My sisters are planning it and that's more their (and my) style. I think it's more going to just be an excuse to get together with friends and family and celebrate with drinks (non-alcohol for me, of course) and appetizers. That's way more fun to me than hokey games.

I love the fact that my family does not do games at showers. The only time I have found an activity to be fun was the "paint the onsie" thing. And that wasn't a game. I loved painting some little onsies with Mickey and aTm logos. It was fun.

My family has plenty of snack foods, drink, and chat... then opening of presents. I only wish that I could take part of the drinks... it really made being the center of attention at my bridal shower much easier.

The main "game" we're going to play at mine is the "What was Mommy wearing?" game... We just go through the whole baby shower like normal, and at the end I'm going to leave the room and my mom is going to have questions about my outfit (any buttons on her shirt? If so, how many? Jeans or slacks? Etc. Etc.) most people don't remember these types of things, if they're not expecting it, so I thought it would be the only real "fun" one to play! Lol there are a other few we might do, like guess the size of my belly just by looking, and get your piece of string the closest to going around it perfect, but definitely no smushed up candy bars in diapers....I HATE that game!!! Haha!
